About

I am just a normal person that loves sports. I follow the Red Wings religiously, even though I don't know very much about the sport of hockey. The only reason I want to write is so I can share my opinion.

Bulletin Board

Emmerton is a pretty good bottom six forward, he had that goal in game 2 as you saw, so he can score the random goal now and then and he has a pretty good shot as you saw. But if he's going to go anywhere in the NHL he needs to bulk up a bit more, he's still pretty small and gets pushed and smushed on the boards. If he can get a little bit bigger in the off-season he could be very good on the penalty kill and as a fore-checker. He's got speed that is a little bit below Darren Helm, so he can give defensemen fits trying to catch up to him on breakaways.
